Frontier Scum: General Chat

[Animalmother]

You go by the name
Deadward “Smokes” Dungary
and you are

Wanted Dead or Alive for the crime of Accidental Rustling
You have a 100s bounty on your head.

GRIT2
SLICK2
WITS-3
LUCK3
HP3

You're a Gambler and a Cheat with a lack of judgment and 9 toes. You have a skill from that time you were thrown into a busy street and one from that time you were thrown from a balcony. You also have a skill you picked up when the beans went bad.

You have some betting essentials, meaning:

77 ceramic chips
Deck of marked cards
you also have
Reading glasses
A canteen with a day's worth of water
3 silver
You shoot a Revolver (d6*) and you have an item slot's worth of ammunition.

You wear a crumpled crystal white felt hat and mount a stolen riding horse (HP 7 Morale 8) with a painted coat which likes neighing at night saddled and with saddlebags.

Damn, we've got the market cornered in exiting buildings at speed

[Stormbringer]

Two Gamblers and Cheats in the same gang!

Okay, Animalmother and Mantis, time to come up with some skills that you gained when:

Animalmother:

- you were thrown into a busy street
- that time you were thrown from a balcony
- when the beans went bad

Mantis:

- you were thrown into a busy street
- that time you were thrown from a balcony
- when the outhouse door jammed behind you

[Sly Boots]

Animalmother:

Mantis:

In my head-canon these guys have been travelling together previously, and the two above incidents are related

[Stormbringer]

Yes, I suspected this also ¬_¬

I also think the 'being thrown out of a balcony into a busy street' incidents were related.

Definitely

My mental image of Smokes Dungary is Walton Goggins from Django Unchained. A bit pervy and undeniably untrustworthy.

How about this?

- thrown out of a window = Rumble Tumble: you test Grit at 2d20 to take no damage when hitting the dirt after a fall
- thrown into a busy street = Cat's Paw: you test Slick at 2d20 to land on your feet when diving out of the way
- the outhouse door jammed shut behind you = Doorkiller: you test Grit at 2d20 when kicking open locked/jammed doors
- when the beans went bad = Iron stomach: when you consume poison you can test Grit at 2d20 to be unaffected

[Animalmother]

When the beans went bad.. had me thinking of someone turning themselves into a human flamethrower with the flick of a match.

[Stormbringer]

That sounds good!

Fiery Flatulence: if you fart at an enemy in melee combat (and have a match), test 2d20 to cause flame damage (d4*). Failure results in setting your own trousers on fire.

This is definitely the right vibe.

[Mantis]

For thrown into a busy street I was more thinking something like Gift of the Gab. Having learned the hard way, Parcheval knows precisely what to say and what not to say to extricate himself from verbal confrontations.

The other ones I'd be cool with.

[Stormbringer]

That's cool.

Perhaps if confronted by somebody verbally, test Wits on 2d20 to de-escalate?

[Mantis]

Good with me!
